I had a caipirinha after drinking a Leinenkugel's Red Lager. I didn't describe how it tastes but I made note of the ingredients: "lemon, sugar, ice, and cachaça."
Notes indicate towards the end of the night I had another caipirinha which I didn't finish and then drank some of someone else's caipirinha with passion fruit.

I've had caipirinhas twice before. I might have a record of this somewhere. It's a great drink.

My fourth time having a caipirinha.
I wrote: "Leblon 40% ABV. Thanks Josh, but something was up with the lime. He says maybe he added too much lime if a wedge is an eighth of a lime instead of a fourth of a lime."
According to the recipe on the Leblon website, a wedge should be an eighth of a lime. In any case, thanks for the caipirinha, dude!
Assuming a whole lime was added, a whole lime produces 3 tablespoons (1.5 ounces) of juice, and 0.5 ounces of water was produced by melted ice, then the completed caipirinha would be approximately 20% ABV. If one used half a lime and rounded up to a single ounce of non-alcoholic liquid, then the completed caipirnha would be approximately 27% ABV.
The Leblon Caipirinha (from the Leblon Website)
2 oz. Leblon Cachaça
2 tsp. superfine sugar or 1 oz. simple syrup
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
Muddle the lime and sugar in a shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and add Leblon Cachaça. Shake vigorously and serve in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.
